[Mr Smith]

Ordered a JP Enterprises Enhanced .308 extractor.

Was at the range today trying to sight in my new scope, and wasn't able to see where I was hitting while trying to get it on paper so moved target stand closer, still not on paper, shoot berm even closer with scope zoomed to figure out where It's shooting and the stupid extractor broke on me. grrrr. Note to self: DPMS Gen-1 extractors are junk...replace extractor immediately in 6.5 build.

I finally got this back from the builder today:








This was built with a number-matching Polish Kbk AKMS underfolder kit. It has a Childers receiver that is made in the US from a Polish blank from the Radom factory where the rifle was originally built. It has Polish fire selector markings . The Polish blank was folded, rails installed, and heat treated in the US so it counts as a US part for 922r compliance. The receiver is marked with the same Polish serial number as the rest of the numbered parts (Childers offers custom serial numbers).

The barrel is a brand new Polish Fabryka Broni -FB Radom- chrome lined cold hammer forged barrel made in the Radom factory and better than the original barrel. It came unthreaded so I had the builder thread the barrel with standard AK 14x1 LH threads.

The rifle has a Magpul handguard, US Palm pistol grip, and enough other US-made parts for 922r compliance.

I sent the package to the builder in May 2018. He opened it in June 2018 and cashed my 50% deposit on June 16, 2018. The invoice said

Terms
Lead Times
Complete Build 8-10 Weeks

10 weeks after June 16, 2018 would have been August 25, 2018. August ended with no news. Nothing. September came and still no word. Finally on September 24, 2018 - one month longer than the estimate - I sent a nice polite email

Hello,

Checking in to see how my build invoice 11028 Polish underfolder is going and to find out if you have an updated estimate of when it will be done. Thanks.

The builder responded with two words: "This month". That would mean September.

Well September ended and no rifle. October came and went no rifle. November came and went no rifle. December came and went no rifle. And no communication.

Finally on January 2, 2019 I sent another, less polite email:

Hello,

September, October, November, December, and 2018 have come and gone. Any idea when my rifle will be done?

He didn't give even a two word response.

Finally a few days ago I got an invoice telling me to pay the 50% balance due, which meant my rifle was done. Seven months after he received the kit.

 

[Mr Smith]

Not great service, but does it run?

As I was posting this thread pertaining to random junk bought on the internet, I realized we don't have one for firearm-related purchases. Same simple concept, lets see what you bought today (links preferred, for impulsive buyers like me)

500 each of .38 spc and .45 apc.
